This medal here is a re-strike of the actual Da Chin Empire Vault Protector show at the very top of this post. It weighs 5 Oz and was strike for the first Singapore Coin Expos held back in 1987. Not really sure it how big was the show because during that time there wasn't many coin collectors of modern China coins and most likely it might be just a one time off thingy. I brought this coin form a local coin shop and I'm using it as my vault protector to keep my precious safe wahahaha 😂 I have some more other vault protectors medal in my collection and I will slowly dig them out next time to share with the gold and silver community here in steemit 😊
Nice piece. I've read they used to punch holes in the centre so they could tie a string through em to easily secure their wealth. I've got a few newer RCM pieces with the square hole too paying homage to the Chinese history. Cool stuff cool player lol
Yup but those are for the smaller bronze coin call "cash" usually they will string 100 of them together.
